Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…
AlexandruCioruta - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to conduct online third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings
The solution's video conferencing quality is good, and I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution's security features are end-to-end encrypted, and I rate them ten out of ten. The version we're using requires no technical team for deployment and maintenance. The solution has an enterprise version, but we're not currently using it. I would recommend the solution to other users because it has good video conference quality. I mostly leverage the solution for third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a nice tool for virtual meetings and I'm satisfied with its performance."
"I appreciate the developers of Webex because it's a wonderful tool. What I found most valuable in it is the seamless experience it offers, in terms of connecting with any person at any time remotely, without any glitches. This is the main advantage of Webex. I also like that the platform is user-friendly, so anyone using the tool for the first time won't find any difficulties when logging in or accessing it."
"Screen share is the most valuable feature."
"I like WebEx's stability and ease of use. The screen-sharing tools and audio controls are also nice."
"Webex is user-friendly."
"It is very powerful and stable."
 

Cons

"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"The performance could always be better."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution. It is not considered to be secure enough."
"I was in a meeting on the free version where there were no controls. You couldn't mute somebody or put it in dedicated speaker mode. It was an important meeting, and because of the lack of an ability to control who the speakers were, we got a version of a heckler. Well, it wasn't really a heckler per se. It was just somebody who thinks they know everything."
"The performance is not always good and could be improved."
"It should be more integrated with third-party vendors."
"I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution should come as a big client for the system. It should be able to be used just like chat software when necessary, similar to instant messaging."
"The product's price could be better."
"We switched from Webex to Teams because there was a lag in the WebEx experience and also a lack of integration. Easy integration with a free email account like Microsoft or Google would be helpful."

"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."

"There is a subscription needed to use this solution and we pay approximately $5,000 per year."
"The cost is pretty high compared to the competitors."
"I use the free version, not the enterprise version. The only compelling reason to go for paid WebEx pay is if you're hosting large meetings."
"The price of the license depends a lot on the type of service required and whether it is for the entire company or only for a few users."
"There is a need to pay the licensing charges to use Webex Enterprise Edition."
"The tool is expensive."
"The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper."
